The Political Ecology of Climate Change Adaptation (eBook, PDF)

Livelihoods, agrarian change and the conflicts of development

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first to provide a focused examination of climate change adaptation in rural regions of the global South. By employing an interdisciplinary approach rooted in the traditions of political economy and political ecology, it argues that current approaches to climate change adaptation need to engage more systematically with the variety of power relations that shape the social and ecological parameters of rural livelihoods. It examines the contested narratives and practices of climate change adaptation in a series of case studies relating to four different agrarian settings in Asia: namely, Pakistan, India and Mongolia.
